Losing another stamp company - A Muse

(update 12/13/10)Sad to post that A Muse Rubber Stamps will be shutting down their wholesale side of the business as of January 1, 2011. Cranberry Hill in Sunnyvale has put all their A Muse stamps on sale, so better shop early because when it's gone it's gone. You will only be able to buy online from their website and at their store in Seattle. Still sad that our local stamp stores won't be able to carry their stamps. Means no more fun classes or make n takes.

Using Wall Paper

What's with the blog name?

Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.

I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Evan and her flatfish

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
